An immersive experience in the LGBT+ community - Juan is a perfect guy who is knowledgeable about the city and passionate about sharing the LGBT+ life in Bogotá. I think no one could know the whereabouts of all those cafes, saunas, theatres, bars, etc. as they are so discrete around the city. Also I never thought the tour would be that in-depth (in an excellent way) such that you can immediately start engaging with the vibrant gay activities right after the tour. Thank you Juan for the wonderful night.

Great Tour of Chapinero. - Bogotá’s Chapinero neighborhood has so many gay bars, clubs, cafes, and saunas that it can be overwhelming. Juan gave an excellent tour of Bogotá’s gayborhood, helping you find any kind of scene you’re into. Highly recommended!

interesting, informative and useful - Very interesting and informative tour. A good overview of the socio cultural background of the LGBTQI community. We went to see where the different venues of Chapinero are and you can go in and spend time in places of interest. We went into 2 cafe/restaurants and 2 bars. Juan is very friendly, engaging and informative guide. Would highly recommend

Excellent customizable tour - The tour guide, Juan, initially gave a rough menu of things he likes to cover in the tour and asked me if there are any parts that I'd like to skip or not spend too much time at. He then built the tour around my interests. We checked out quite a few spaces relevant to the queer life and culture of the city and had the option of participating with any of the business I liked. Over all, time well-spent with lots to learn

AMAZING. - Juan is incredibly knowledgeable of the area and the history. I learned so much from him. Things i didn't even know. I have been to Bogota before many times...but this tour will open your eyes in a different way. He had plenty of time to show around and gives you the choice to experience any of the places you visit. I really really really recommend this tour. I speak spanish but his english was perfect. THANK YOU JUAN.

Great way to get to know Chapinero - Gay Area - Thank you for a wonderful tour Juan. It was very interesting and I appreciate your knowledge of the city. Although many of the bars were closed due to the holiday, I was able to go back and visit the next night. Future guests! Let Juan know what you want to see and do. He will customize the tour for you, and even stop in a location or two if you’d like to have a drink, bite to eat, or whatever. Don’t be bashful. The length of the tour varies on what you like to do.

Personalized Night Out in Bogotá's Gay District - If you’re looking for a tour that’s far from the typical, this one is for you! Our tour of Bogotá’s gay district with Juan was one of the most unique and personalized experiences I’ve had. Unlike most tours with rigid itineraries, this one is all about what you want to do. Juan tailors the whole evening to your preferences, whether that means spending more time at a bar you’re vibing with, grabbing drinks at a different spot, or skipping a location altogether if it’s not your scene. The flexibility was a huge plus, and I really appreciated the freedom to go with the flow. There were only three of us on the tour, and we all got along really well, so the dynamic was perfect. But I did wonder how it might work with a larger group—who gets to decide where to go or how long to stay? Either way, the tour is set up in a way that you can make it your own. Juan was an amazing guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and really passionate about showing off the best of Bogotá’s gay district. Not only did he introduce us to some fantastic spots, but he also made sure we were comfortable, and shared a lot of interesting facts about the local LGBTQ+ culture. Pro tip: If you’re staying in Bogotá for a few days, I highly recommend doing this tour on your first night! It’ll give you a great sense of where to go each evening, and you’ll feel much more confident navigating the nightlife after getting Juan’s insider tips. Overall, this was a fantastic, fun night, and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the heart of Bogotá’s LGBTQ+ scene in a laid-back, personalized way.
